4. That would be one of the great thrills of a lifetime to play The Thrill Is Gone with BB King

5. BB King is the “King of Blues”. Whether or nor someone thinks he is a great guitar player or not, I really like the music he played. I’ve seen him live possibly more than any other big name player. joe6pak

8. Nobody could write Sweet Sixteen today. Unless it was B.B. Epstein.

   There’s another King. Albert. For no one who’s ever heard Blues Power before, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s entire catalogue came from him.

11. Ever heard of this cat? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=94-eQqxncW0

    Used to go see him for a buck cover charge on Sundays at the Back Forty Tavern in Lakewood Wa back in the early 1980s

    Another great local musician is Jay Mabin
    Here he is with Jerry Miller, who lives just down the street from me. Yea, that Jerry Miller.

12. Robert Cray for a dollar cover? That would be worth it at twice the price.

13. Heres another clip of Jay

    He’s a good friend. We were together today. His love is jazz though, but he has the rep as one of the top Blues harp players today. He played with Sonny Boy Williamson and other greats.

    Yea, he went to Lakes High School and used to pick up gigs at the Back Forty

15. I’ve only seen B.B. perform twice. Both times he opened for Clapton and was great! The first time, he blew Clapton away (I think Eric was pretty fucked up). A couple of years later (70s) Clapton appeared to have cleaned himself up but King was still amazing.
